The best flash mob ever and other assorted interesting things.

I'm in love with this video of a flash mob. I don't know why, but it makes me cry (happy crying!). It's just so beautiful and sweet and the people are all so normal/average!

While you can watch it below, I'd recommend going to YouTube and watching it in high def. Credit to lives_this_life for finding it.

I know a lot of people on my friends list knit, so this might amuse them: Kint your pie crusts!

I'm not sure this is good for a piano, but what a cool video it makes! The camerawork was clever (loved the dog cam!) and the house is beautiful. (In my headcanon, the four are totally in love and live in that house. Makes the video even happier to me!)

It really amazes me all the sounds they can get out of one piano, some string(?), and a piece of paper. (Make sure you watch all the way to the very end for the post-"credit" stuff.)

I love The Piano Guys. They are incredibly talented and very creative with their videos.

Me too! They seem like nice, funny people as well!

That flash mob is the best ever. It makes me cry too.

I think the little kids are the best part. The little girl up the light pole, and the little boy who is so happy he is just hopping up and down and hugging himself. I know what you mean about the people looking ordinary-- nobody dressed up. And they are so comfortable with the instruments, as if they were just extensions of themselves. I love the guy with the timpani trying to be inconspicuous. Obv very hard to be inconspicuous with a timpani!

Yeah! And the final shot of the kid being held up? Perfect!

Obv very hard to be inconspicuous with a timpani!

Love that first vid, and that's one of my favorite classical pieces too. I especially had to smile at all the kids really getting into it. :)

That second vid was amazing too, they really have talent and are inventive (and a great sense of humor). Thanks for posting these!

Agreed to both! You're welcome! :)
